How To Get the Best Out of Your Commercial Roof

• While all business owners want to save money
  wherever they can, neglecting to care for a
  commercial roof by not having it inspected on a
  regular basis, and repaired when necessary, is
  the quickest way to blow your budget and end up
  spending money that could easily have been saved.
• To get the best out of your commercial roof and
  avoid costly repair bills further down the line,
  try following these three top tips

• 1. Always have your roof installed and repaired
  by pros
• While this is too late for those business owners
  who already have a roof, for those who are
  currently having a structure built, or need to
  have their roof replaced, its essential that you
  choose the right contractors for the job. What
  your commercial roof is constructed from will
  impact its durability and performance, but
  ultimately, its often how its installed that can
  have the biggest long term impact.
• When having a new commercial roof installed,
  youll need to find a local company with flat
  roof experience, so that they understand what
  products will work best, what equipment to use
  and most importantly, how to install it properly.

• 2. Never neglect inspections
• Commercial roofing experts recommend that flat
  roof systems be inspected by a professional
  roofing company at least twice a year, and
  ideally, following any major weather event such
  as a tornado or big storm. In between
  professional inspections, business owners should
  also carry out their own visual checks to make
  sure that everything is in order with the roof
  is the drainage system flowing freely, are the
  roof seams and metal components secure and fully
  watertight? Just by doing this every month, you
  could prevent having to spend part of your
  valuable budget on costly repairs.

• 3. Manage roof traffic correctly
• Commercial flat roof systems will inevitably
  experience a certain degree of footfall, whether
  from HVAC inspections or repairs, running cables
  up there, clearing debris and any number of other
  tasks. While these tasks might be essential, its
  equally important to insure that the roof isnt
  being damaged in the process, and the
  installation of low-cost, compatible walk pads on
  logical pathways across the roof and around
  penetrations, can be helpful. You might even
  consider asking a roofing technician to be
  present should any work be going on up on the
  flat roof, just to make sure no damage is caused.

• Commercial flat roofing systems can last for many
  years if protected and preserved correctly, and
  this usually means investing a little time and
  money into regular maintenance, of which your
  local roofing contractor will doubtless be happy
  to help you with.
